PorterParticipant
I'm taking a pretty random stab in the dark here, but could any of this help?
//* Remove .site-inner add_filter( 'genesis_markup_site-inner', '__return_null' ); add_filter( 'genesis_markup_content-sidebar-wrap_output', '__return_false' ); add_filter( 'genesis_markup_content', '__return_null' );
PorterParticipantI created a front-page.php file, hoping that an empty template would remove it, no luck. I tried adding an echo of:
echo("I'm the front page");
And the padding disappears... I have no idea why.
I've looked everywhere, but I can't figure out how to make my home page not contain the generic .body css. Adding that echo removed the effects of it (despite it still showing up in the inspector), but the proper solution seems to be to not have the body css on my home page. Any ideas how to achieve this, and why that echo solves the padding issue?
PorterParticipantI'm horrid at CSS, so I can't help much, but I can teach you something you may not know, that will solve your "only on the home page" issue.
body.home .someclass { font-size: 16px; }
body.home will target just your home page, so hopefully you can use that with whatever CSS you know to accomplish this.
PorterParticipantMany thanks for the information, I'll read up on the clear property to get a better understanding of how that works, the rest makes sense.
PorterParticipantI love you, like, a lot haha.
I've searched so much today trying to figure that out - php logic is easy for me, css, the devil. On a serious note, thanks a ton; I'm so glad to have solved this.
I think I get why that works for the most part, but if you wouldn't mind spelling it out for me, I'd love to take some knowledge away from the situation, rather than a memorization approach.
Also, I just noticed you're the author of original guide I followed, neat. I like your guides / site a lot, I've bookmarked it for further reading. Small note, you have a typo in the css of your guide I linked to, it says "paffing" instead of padding at the css at the end (site-inner).
PorterParticipantThe title-area has a 10px padding for top and bottom, try removing that.
PorterParticipantI've been at this for about 24 hours, still no luck at all (Google has failed me for the first time ever 🙁 )
Here's an image to help show what I need:
PorterParticipantIn your style.css, locate the following via ctrl + f and change them:
.title-area
and change the width property (set to 400px by default).You may want to keep the entire header snug, so be sure to adjust:
.site-header .widget-area
and change the width (default width 800px) to whatever equals 1200px total with your altered value from the title-area section. So title-area wdth + site-header / widget-area width = 1200px (unless you change this 1200).I'm not too great with css, but in that same block (title-area) you'd add float: left, or whatever css you need to "justify" it left.
PorterParticipantPost a link to your site so we can take a look at your code.

The way I would approach it, is to find out why they're all uppercase in the first place, and remove that, allowing you to just type the title as you'd prefer.
Search your style.css for:
text-transform: uppercase
If that is anywhere to be found pertaining to your title, remove it and type it out as you'd prefer it to be seen.
PorterParticipantI'm not sure about your slider, but your favicon is working correctly for me (the stylized "J"). Favicons are heavily cached, and it's a pain to get them to show on your own setup due to the original one being cached. Trying doing Shift + F5, see if that clears it for you. Either way, it's working, so don't worry about it too much 🙂
PorterParticipantI'm not entirely sure what spot you're talking about, but if it's the sidebar images, I found this:
.lifestyle-pro-home .featured-content .entry {
That has a padding-bottom of 20px / 2.0rem.
The image area itself seems to take up more space then the image itself however, which I can't quite place.
PorterParticipantMy guess is, is that what you think your home page is, and what they're referring to as a home page, are much different. There's a few different interpretations of "home" from what I've read, though it's still a bit foggy.
Try going into your Settings > Reading area, and setting a static front page. Test out any page you'd like, and see if that page shows the "home" page widgets. If so, you'll have to set up a front page like so, or by any means of the technical definition of "front page".
The other possible scenario, is that "home" is referring to the "blog" page. In the same location, Settings > Reading, try setting a static page for the blog, and see if that does the same.
PorterParticipantJust to clarify (can't edit my post), I can use the same widget area for multiple widgets of the same size going downward, but the one that is below, not where I want it, will contain two one-third sized blocks, with another two-thirds below that, which is why I need to figure out how to move a widget area up into the empty space.
PorterParticipantVery odd - my only guess is a plugin conflict. Try disabling your plugins, and then see if your sidebar shows up.
PorterParticipantI've looked at a few, at least snippets people have posted in tutorials. My main concern is understanding the process of how it all works. My current understanding is this:
1 - Register widget areas as "sidebars" with unique IDs, which will make them show up in the WordPress dashboard.
2 - Apply CSS to style the new widgetized areas.
3 - Disable the core loop for the front-page?
That's what I've got thus far. I'm not 100% that's how it works, but that's what I'm understanding from what I've read.
PorterParticipantPorterParticipantI wasn't aware of the front-page system, thanks for that! I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "blog", in technical terms, what does this refer to? Are you referring to a static page that handles all of my "posts"? If so, I only have a single category of "posts" for this website, as everything else is pages (by design).
PorterParticipantI found it; there was a long list of classes (containing .entry, among other things) that had set a padding value of 0px. Swapped that out for 12px, and I was good to go. Even better, I got a much better grasp of how responsiveness works by guessing and checking a bunch of stuff 🙂
PorterParticipantThanks for the information, that cleared it up for me.
The main thing that lead to further confusion, is a tutorial online told me I was looking for "post-info", not "entry-meta". Once I found out it was entry-meta, I forgot to search my style.css to see if that already existed, as I had done wiht post-info. The information on weight and use of important was helpful though, and confirmed what I believed to be true.
